Do or die
That is the question
Truth or lie
Locked in contemplation
Tears in my eyes
Years in isolation
Do or die
Watch me while I fly
Now let me say
Do or die
Do or die
Yeah.

Laying low
Lurking in the shadows
Ice and snow
Chills me to the bone
You and I
Know just what we're after
Do or die
Do or die
Do or die
Now let me say
Do or die
Share!

Hey, oh, oh
Do or die
Came "déjà vu" before me
Growing wild
To the badlands of my soul
From my sight
Dreams of life that bore me
Now that it's right
Watch me while I fly
Now let me say
Do or die
Do or die
Come on, baby
Do or die
Do or die.

Do or die
Do or die
Yes, sir
Do or die
Do or die
Set me free
Ah
Do or die
Do or die
Come easy, baby
Do or die
Do or die
You're anywhere
Do or die
Yes, sir
Do or die
Do or die
Do or die
Do or die...

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Temperature is rising
High above the moon
At the speed I'm flying
I have to get there soon
I guess I'm losing contact
With tangible things
And now my head is blown-out
I've got to beat this thing.

Yeah, you're a child of the sun
All of your world is tumblin'
Down around your heels
You got to catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature on the run, baby
Yeah, you're a child of the sun.

Flying through the air like Icarus
On the golden-feathered wings
Soaring high against the fire
Son, don't burn away.

Yeah, you're a child of the sun, baby
All of your world is tumblin'
Down around your heels
You got to catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature on the run, baby
Yeah, you're a child of the sun.

Flying through the air like Icarus
On the golden-feathered wings
Soaring high against the fire
Son, don't burn away.

Tinsel blows on a moonlit night
Sparkling waterfalls
Creamy satin underneath
Distant voices call.

Do you see
Rainbow waters
That shimmer as they float
Tiny fairies wave their arms
A never-ending show.

Yeah, mmm
I must be dreaming
Revelations, generations
I'll whiz right through them all
As vacuums hold me to their sides
The links of time so small.

Being here, being there
Why it's really awfully sad?
That we can't always stay within
This lovely wonderland.

Revelations, generations
I'll whiz right through them all
As vacuums hold me to their sides
The links of time so small, oh.

Being here, being there
Why it's really awfully sad?
That we can't always stay within
This lovely wonderland
Oh, yeah, yeah, ay.

. . .


Oh, oh, fantasy
Up the stairs to the lights
Cross the stage to the mike
Searching sanity
Oh, oh, fantasy
Turning pages on rages
Trapped by the glory of imagery
My head is spinning as I dance across the floor
Ten thousand faceless strangers yelling out for more.

Oh, oh, fantasy
Like a star in the night
Must I fall out of sight to fade black again?
Oh, oh, fantasy
Like a moth in the flames
Time is burning my wings, am I falling, my friend?
I'm always on the move, can never catch my breath
Feels like I'm flipping out, I'm moving way too fast
How can I shake it now?

Yeah, yeah
Stand in queue, center stage
The crowd all staring
Eyes of rage
Can't you see that I am such a lonely man?
Back and forth across the oceans
All around this massive sphere
I have seen what many said they never dared
Oh, in a fantasy
Mmm, oh, well, yeah.

Standing here center stage, my feet feel frozen, disengaged
The shadow of a man who lost his purpose
Right now, I feel ten-feet tall, but on the final curtain call
I realize my life is just a circus
Oh, in a fantasy
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no.

Ah!

Oh, oh, fantasy
On the move, speed of light
There's no wrong, there's no right
In this life I'm leading
Oh, oh, fantasy
Like the crest of a wave
As it breaks, can I save this
Torn heart that lies bleeding
Oh, oh, oh
My life's a fantasy, yeah
Oh, oh, oh
My life's a fantasy
Oh, oh, oh
My life's just a fantasy
Oh, oh, oh
My life's just a fantasy
On the move, speed of light
There's no wrong, there's no right
In this life that I'm leading
Oh, oh, oh
My life's just a fantasy
Like the crest of wave
As it breaks, can I save this
From heart that lies bleeding
Oh, oh, oh
My life's just a fantasy
On the move, speed of light
There's no wrong, there's no right
In this life that I'm leading...

. . .


Feeling young and glowing
A vice in the night
When a lover's kiss blown cross the sky
Was caught in midair flight
Lips breathe breaths of fire
On the darkest sea
And spinning wispy webs of dreams
With such tranquility.

Reaching out for things about
Got to realize
The things you feel may not be real
The shadows in her eyes
Oh, yeah.

Restlessly, I've travel
Her image on my mind
But now a fleeting moment
A feeling so divine
Her image blends a golden light
A speck within a sphere
With all my might
The sweet delight
The darkness draws her in
As my journey leads me on
Whispers crowd my mind
Her eyes reach out for pillow for
So tender and so kind
Let us be one in one
And live life so serene
She smiled, "I love you" on her lips
And answered on my dream.

You
You've got to realize
All of the things you feel can save you
'Cause she was born with bad eyes, yeah
You
You've got to realize
You
You've got to realize
All of the things you feel can save you
'Cause she was born with bad eyes, yeah
You
You've got to realize.

Standing on a mountain
Staring at the moon
The northern light shining
First green, then blue
I heard the harps playing
Songs ages old
I still hear her laughter
So wicked and cold
Her hair was of fire
I wanted to run
Her eyes were as emeralds
They turned me to stone
But in the beginning
I dreamed I was there
Her image was golden
A speck in a sphere.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Lady, will you come here tonight
And let me love you again
Now it seems so long, yeah
Since you've been here
Won't you love me again?
Lady, well, it sure has felt right
In just the way that you love
Now it seems so long
Since you've been here
Won't you love me again?

Well, I don't have any money to lend
Now that my fortune has gone
But give me time, and I'll sing you a song
I'll try to sing it in tune
Now that you've seen all of my love
Won't you love me again?
Lovely lady, yeah.

I don't have any money to lend
Now that my fortune has gone
But give me time, and I'll sing you a song
I'll try to sing it in tune.
Lady, yes, I love you, lady, baby, yeah
Won't you love me again?
Yes, I love you, lady
Lovely little lady, well.
Won't you love me again?
Won't you love me, lady?
Lovely little, lovely little lady
Won't you love me again?
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh.
